Rare restored 1959 Triumph TR10 Estate wagon. The original rust free California TR10 body was mounted on a 1980 Triumph Spitfire 1500 frame, including the complete engine, drivetrain, suspension,brakes,steering and front bucket seats. This has the car the best of both vehicles, the classic looks of the TR10 and the performance,handling and ease of driving of the more modern Spitfire. It includes the locking steering column and steering wheel of the Spitfire as well as the column switches. The transmission is the spitfire 4 speed with overdrive, which makes highway driving great with low rpms. The Spitfire frame was lengthened by about 3 and 1/2 inches. The drive shaft was also lengthened as well. The car starts right up, drives great and needs nothing. It has almost new tires mounted on Panasport-like 13 inch alloy wheels. The Mileage is not accurate because the odometer was changed during the restoration. The interior is all custom to match the exterior two-toned blue and black paint. The paint colors and scheme was chosen to match a 2006 mini cooper. I used the car as a Beach/Surf Wagon or to haul my bike to the mountains or local trails. It was a hit wherever i parked it both at local shows or at the beach. I have owned the car for about one year, and it has been great.
